We went down to the May parade
Mumbled words under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you

[Verse 2]
It went down at the May parade
Bitter words under my breath
There is something I've been dying to do

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We went down at the May parade
Alcohol under my breath
There is something I've been meaning to do
I am dying to tell you
I've been so damn sad
Cause I spy something red
[Chorus]
You don't know how far you've gone
Or recognize who you've become
When'd you grow to be so hard?
Sick of playing my part
